Details
Dried mango is made from the succulent stone fruit that grows on the Mangifera – a flowering tree of the Anacardiaceae family, which thrives mainly in Asia, Africa and South America. The mango is one of the most cultivated fruits in the tropics, the national fruit of India, Pakistan and the Philippines, and is often referred to as the ‘king of fruits’.
Dried mango is a tempting organic snack made from pure and unheated pieces of mango that have been hand-picked and gently sun-dried to ensure an optimum retention of valuable nutrients, including dietary fibre, vitamin C, phytochemicals, polyphenols and provitamin A carotenoids. Deliciously sweet and fruity, dried mango contains only natural fruit sugars and is pleasingly free from flavourings, colourings, preservatives or any other additives, making it a particularly sensible snack between meals, that’s especially suitable for children.

Beautiful flavour!

I think I'm slightly addicted to this now after trying one pack, I now have to buy 2 at a time as it's sooo good! They aren't too sweet and have a lovely almost creamy texture. Mangoes are my favourite fruit and buying them fresh in the UK is always a bit hit and miss so these packs are a great alternative and taste just as good
